Dub-T-123 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yeah. Especially considering it's in better condition than a "new" guitar from GC. The original owner got it at a good shop and he got it set up nicely too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman5293 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Wow lucky you. Hmmm...makes me wonder why the original owner would want to sell it so cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 The guy was mainly an acoustic player and he wanted to get the new acoustasonic Tele. He had it posted for $780 with the original SKB case. I opted for no case because I had a nice extra case laying around so I talked him down to $650. I feel kinda bad because I know he will regret it. But I feel good because I got a sweet Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I bought a Stetson... thinking about a tele... no cowboy boots though A Stetson with tennis shoes? Is there something wrong with cowboy boots? Good enough for George W. ....meanwhile, nice Tele! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Nice Tele, you will be surprised at the songs it will coax you to play and it won't be country. Congrats on a good buy for a great Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on a good buy for a great Tele.[/quote'] Exactly. People love to slap that "twang" label on em because their prominence in country music but man I'm tellin ya I can get some great blues and rock tones from mine. It is much more versatile than many would expect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 What I love is that it seems to do everything with a really unique voice. Right now I'm playing it through my Vox on a clean setting with the master volume all the way up. It sounds really sweet. A really deep clean sound. I think later I'm gonna set up the Big Muff for some sweet fuzziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The telecaster does often get pidgin-holed as being a "country" guitar, but there are plenty of rock musicians who have made their name using a telecaster. It holds a very iconic place in the history of rock-n-roll. Lest we forget, 5:57 into Stairway to Heaven, Jimmy Page unleashes one of the best and most recognizable guitar solos ever recorded, and it was done with a telecaster.

Dub-T-123 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 I didn't know that about Stairway. Next time I listen to it I'm gonna listen carefully to the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
